COECO Office Systems, a company serving the printer, copier and document technology needs of businesses and organizations throughout the Carolinas and Southern Virginia, is officially rebranding under the name UBEO Business Services, effective Nov. 1.
COECO (Carolina Office Equipment Company), founded in 1921, was acquired by UBEO Business Services in October 2022 but has continued to operate under the COECO name during this period of transition.
Effective Nov. 1, COECO will officially be re-named UBEO Business Services in all its locations, which include Rocky Mount, Greensboro, Greenville, Raleigh and Wilmington, NC; Charleston, SC; and Charlottesville, Richmond and Virginia Beach, VA.
The name change strengthens the strategic alignment between COECO and parent company UBEO and will enable COECO to deliver even greater offerings and solutions for its clients.
Corry Thornton, vice president and general manager at COECO Office Systems, said that there will be no change to the COECO team and that all locations will continue to operate as they have. “All of our talented team members will continue delivering solutions to meet the needs of our clients. We will maintain the same strong local support and local service, but we will be able to deliver additional support services as well. We’re excited that this re-branding is now official.”
He added, “Our customers will see new signage at our locations, and as of January 1, our COECO website will re-direct to the UBEO site. UBEO is a strong and highly-respected national presence in our industry and brings expanded resources that will greatly benefit the businesses and organizations that we have served as COECO and will continue to serve under the UBEO brand.”
For client convenience, UBEO will additionally introduce a new customer portal to simplify how businesses order supplies place service calls, and report meter readings.
Paul Lee, president, UBEO East Region, said, “We are pleased to formalize the integration of COECO into UBEO Business Services and officially welcome COECO to the UBEO family. Over the last several years, we have worked closely with Corry Thornton and his team and are impressed by their strong customer-first approach that aligns so perfectly with our core values. We look forward to our continued work together.”
